Zeremaia 29

1 Hagi Nebukatnesa'ma Jerusalemi kumateti'ma kasnampa vahe'ene, ranra kva vahe'ene pristi vahe'ene mika vahe'enema zmavareno Babilonima ome kinama huzamante'nea vahetega kasnampa ne' Jeremaia'a Jerusalemi kumate mani'neno ama avona kre atre'ne.

Jeremiah the prophet wrote this letter and sent it from Jerusalem to the elders who were left among the exiles, to the priests, the prophets, and everyone else who had been exiled from Jerusalem to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar.

2 Hagi kini ne' Jekoniane kuini a' nererane, eri'za vahe'ene, Juda kva vahetamine, maka'zama zamazanteti trohu antahi'zama eri'naza vahe'ene, maka zama golireti tro'ma nehaza vahe'ene, Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'enema Jerusalemi kumateti'ma zamavare'za Babilonima ome kina huzmantetageno henka ama ana avona kre'ne.

This was after King Jehoiachin, the queen mother, the court officials, the leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the metals-workers had been exiled from Jerusalem.

3 Hagi ana avoma Jeremaia'ma kretegeno'a, Juda kini ne' Zedekaia'a, Safani nemofo Elasa'ene Hilkaia nemofo Gemariakizni ana avona zanamigeke erike, Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesantega Babiloni kumatega vu'na'e. Ana avomo'a amanage hu'ne.

Elasah, son of Shaphan, and Gemariah, son of Hilkiah, took the letter with them when Zedekiah king of Judah sent them to King Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon. In the letter Jeremiah wrote:

4 Hagi Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a, Jerusalemi kumateti'ma tamavre atregetama vuta Babiloni kumate'ma kinama ome hu'naza vahe'motagura amanage huno nehie.

This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all the exiles who were taken from Jerusalem to Babylon:

5 Tamagra nona kita nemanita, hozanena erita antenkeno ne'zamo'a nena hanigeta erita neneta maniho.

Build yourselves houses there to live in. Plant gardens and grow food to eat.

6 Tamagra ara enerina, vea enerina huta ne'mofara kasezmanteho. Ana nehuta ne' mofavretamirera a'nea avre nezamita, mofa'netamia verera nenteta nehinke'za zamagranena ne'mofara kase hakare hiho. Ana nehuta osi'a vahera omanisazanki rama'a vahe fore hiho.

Get married and have children. Arrange for your children to get married so they can have children too. Increase in number, don't decrease.

7 Hagi Nagrama tamavre atrogeta kinama ome huta mani'naza kumamo'ma knare huno mesiema hanuta, tamagra mago'a kanku haketa ana kumara aza nehuta, Ra Anumzamo'narega nunamuna hiho. Na'ankure ana kumamo'ma knare'ma huno mesigeta, tamagranena knare huta fru huta manigahaze.

Help make the city where I've exiled you more prosperous. Pray to the Lord for it, since as it prospers, so will you.

8 Hagi Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a huno, Tamagranema mani'naza kasnampa vahe'ene zamavune vahe'enena zamatrenke'za tamagrira tamareramatga osiho. Ana nehuta ava'nama ke'nesaza zanku'ma nehanageta ontahiho.

This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Don't be fooled by your prophets and fortune-tellers, and don't listen to any dreams they interpret for you.

9 Na'ankure Nagra ana vahera huozmante'noanki, Nagri nagifi havige kasnampa naneke zamagra neramasamize huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

They are prophesying lies to you in my name; I have not sent them, declares the Lord.

10 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage nehie, Babilonima kinafima umani'nenageno 70'a kafuma evu vagama resige'na, Nagra antahinerami'na huvempama huramante'noa nanekea eri rgare'na, ete tamavre'na ama Jerusalemi kumatera egahue.

This is what the Lord says: When the seventy years exile in Babylon are over, I will see to you and keep my promise to bring you back to Jerusalem.

11 Na'ankure nazano Nagrama huramante'naku'ma hu'noa antahintahizana ko retro hunte'noe. E'ina antahi'zama retro'ma hu'noana, tamazeri haviza hu antahintahizana retro osu'noanki, henkama knare'ma huta nemanisageno muhama nehaza zamo'ma knare'ma hania antahintahi retro hu'noe, huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

I know what I intend to do for you, declares the Lord. I plan good things for you and not bad. I'm going to give you a future and a hope.

12 Ana'ma hanugeta tamagra Nagritega kezanetita, Nagrite'ma eta nunamuma hanage'na, Nagra ana nunamu ketmia antahiramigahue.

Then you will call for my help, you will come and pray to me, and I will answer you.

13 Hagi tamagrama miko tamagu'areti'ma huta Nagriku'ma hakenuta, Nagrira nageta erifore hugahaze.

You will look for me and you will find me when you're completely committed to looking for me.

14 Ana'ma hanage'na maka moparegati'ene maka kumatamimpima, kinama ome hutama mani'naregatira ete tamavre atru hanugeta, ko'ma mani'nage'nama tamazeri atrogetama vu'naza kumate ete egahaze.

I will let you find me, declares the Lord. I will end your captivity, gathering you from all the nations and places where I scattered you, declares the Lord. I will bring you back home to the place from where I sent you into exile.

15 Hagi Babilonima mani'nonkeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a kasnampa vahetia ko zamazeri oti'ne huta tamagra nehaze.

But if you argue, “The Lord has provided prophets for us in Babylon,”

16 Hianagi Deviti'a kini trate'ma mani'nea kini ne'ene ama rankumapima mani'naza maka vahe'ene tamafu'tamagna zama kinafima ovu mani'naza vaheku'enena Ra Anumzamo'a amanage nehie.

this is what the Lord says about the king who sits on David's throne and everyone who's left in Jerusalem, your fellow citizens who weren't taken with you into exile.

17 Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, ha' vahe huzamantesuge'za bainati kazinteti eme hara huzmantegahaze. Ana nehanage'za mago'a vahera ne'zanku hu'za nefrisage'za, mago'a vahera krimo zamahe frigahie. Ana hanuge'za haviza huno kasri'nea fiki rgama vahemo'ma oneankna hugahaze.

This is what the Lord Almighty says: I'm going send war and famine and disease against them. I'll make them like rotten figs, so bad that they can't be eaten.

18 Hagi Nagra ha' vahe huzmantesuge'za bainati kazinteti eme zamarotago nehanage'na, agatonto zanteti'ene krireti'ene hu'na zamarotago hugahue. Anama hanuge'za fre'za umani emanima hanaza kumatamimpi vahe'mo'za tusi koro nehu'za, huhaviza hune zamante'za, kiza zokago ke huzamantegahaze. Anage nehu'za ana vahe'mo'za ha' vahe'zamima huhavizama huzmante'nakura, Juda vahe'mo'zama havizama hu'nazaza huta sifnafi maniho hu'za hugahaze.

I will chase them down with war and famine and disease. I will make all the kingdoms of the earth horrified by them. They will become a curse word, totally ruined, people to be mocked and criticized among all the nations where I scatter them.

19 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Na'ankure Nagra eri'za vaheni'a kasnampa vahera knane knanena, huzmantoge'za evava hu'za keni'a eme huama hu'nazanagi ana nanekea antahita amagera onte'naze huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

I'm going to do this because they haven't obeyed to my words, declares the Lord, which I sent to them time and again through my servants the prophets. You exiles haven't obeyed me either, declares the Lord.

20 E'ina hu'negu Jerusalemi kumateti'ma tamavre atrogetama vuta Babilonima umani'naza vahe'mota, Nagra Ra Anumzamo'nama nehua nanekea antahiho.

So listen to the word of the Lord, all you exiles I sent from Jerusalem to Babylon.

21 Hagi Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a amanage nehie, Kolaia nemofo Ahapuke Ma'aseia nemofo Zedekaiakea Nagri nagifi havige kasnampa ke hunaku, Nagra Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesa azampi zanavre anta'nena mikamota negesageno zanahe frigahie.

This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says about Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying lies to you in my name. I'm going to hand them over to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will kill them right before your eyes.

22 E'ina hu'negu Juda mopareti'ma vu'za Babilonima kina ome hu'naza vahe'mo'za, mago vahe'ma huhavizama hunte'nakura, Ra Anumzamo'a kazeri haviza hanigenka, Babiloni kini ne'mo'ma Zedekaiane Ahapunema tevefima kre rasage'nea kna hugahane hu'za sifna kea huzmantegahaze.

Because of what happens to them, all the exiles of Judah in Babylon will curse others like this: “May the Lord treat you like Zedekiah and Ahab, burned alive by the king of Babylon!”

23 Na'ankure ana netremokea Israeli vahe agu'afina havizantfa hu'nea avu'ava'za hu'na'e. Zanagra tava'ozanire'ma nemaniza vahe'mokizmi a'nene monko'zana nehuke, Nagra huo zante'noanagi Nagri nagifi eke havige kasnampa nanekea hu'na'e. Nagra anazana ko ke'na antahi'na hu'nena nehue huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

They did outrageous things in Israel—they committed adultery with their neighbor's wives and told lies in my name. I didn't tell them to say anything. I am the one who knows what they did, and I can witness to it, declares the Lord.

24 Hagi Nehelamu nagapinti ne' Semaiama ome asami'nogu'ma Ra Anumzamo'ma Jeremaiama asami'nea naneke.

Tell Shemaiah the Nehelamite

25 Hagi Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a amanage nehie, Semaiaga kagraka'a kagesafinti amanage hunka avona kretenka atrankeno, maka Jerusalemima mani'naza vahete'ene, pristi ne' Ma'aseia nemofo Zefanaiantegane, maka pristi vaheteganena vu'ne,

that this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: On your own authority you sent out letters to all the people of Jerusalem, to the priest Zephaniah, son of Maaseiah, and to all the priests, saying,

26 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a pristi ne' Jehoiada nontera kagri Zefanaiaga kavrenenteno, Nagri mono nontera kegava hu'nenka iza'o neginagi vahe'mo'ma kasnampa nanekema hania vahera azerinka agafina zafareti runtrako hunka kina hunentenka, anankempina ainireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza rini rusi huo huno kazeri oti'ne.

“Zephaniah, the Lord has chosen you as priest to replace Jehoiada, to be in charge of the Lord's Temple. In that capacity you are required to put in the stocks and neck irons any crazy person who claims to be a prophet.

27 E'ina hu'negu nahigenka Anatoti kumateti kasnampa ne' Jeremaia'ma tamagri amu'nompima kasnampa nanekema nehigenka, agrira azeri konerinka azeri fatgoa osu'nane?

So why haven't you not punished Jeremiah of Anathoth, who claims to be a prophet among you?

28 Na'ankure Jeremaia'a amanage huno avona kretregeno Babilonima mani'nona nagatega e'ne. Tamagra ana kumatera za'za kna manigahazanki nona kita nemanita, hozanena anteta neneta maniho hu'ne.

You should have done this because he has sent a letter to us here in Babylon, stating, ‘The exile will last a long time. So build yourselves houses there to live in. Plant gardens and grow food to eat.’”

29 Hianagi Semaia'ma kre'nea avona pristi ne' Zefanaia'a erino vuno Jeremaia avure ome hampri'ne.

However, Zephaniah the priest read this letter to Jeremiah the prophet.

30 Ana'ma hutegeno'a anante Ra Anumzamo'a Jeremaiana amanage huno asami'ne.

Then the Lord told Jeremiah:

31 Babilonima kinama ome hu'za mani'naza vahetegama kema atrezmante'sanana, Ra Anumzamo'a Nehelamu kumateti ne' Semaiankura amanage hie hunka zamasamio. Nagra asamua naneke eme huama osu'neanki, agra havige kasnampa naneke eme higeta ana naneke'a antahimi'naze.

Send this message to all the exiles: This is what the Lord says about Shemaiah the Nehelamite. Since Shemaiah has prophesied to you, even though I didn't send him, and has convinced you to believe in a lie,

32 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Nehelamu nagapinti ne' Semaiane agripinti'ma fore'ma hanaza vahe'enena zamazeri haviza hugahue. Ana hanugeno magore huno agri nagapintira ama vahe amu'nompina mani'neno, vaheni'ama Nagrama zamazeri knare'ma hanua zana onketfa hugahie. Na'ankure Nagrikura ha'renteho huno vahera rempi huzami'negu anara hugahie. Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na ama ana nanekea nehue.

this is what the Lord says: I'm going to punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants. He won't have any family left among this people, and he won't experience the good things that I'm going to do for my people, declares the Lord, for he has promoted rebellion against the Lord.
